Disney, Disney

Myles went to breakfast with the Disney characters Friday morning. His Meme and Papa took him while they were in town for their vacation. Myles met Minnie Mouse, Goofy, Chip and Dale and I'm told he had a blast. I do wish this was something I could have taken him to but hopefully there will be plenty of new and fun times this summer. Here are some summer plans we have:

• Go to the beach (once a month)
• Return to Orange Lake each month for swimming down the Lazy River and games at their incredible arcade
• Splash grounds! Downey Park, Torcaso Park and Shady Park (Hannibal Square) are all good.
• Monkey Joe's (probably once a month)
• Rock Springs (I hear it's a great place for kids and a fun place to rent a tube)
• Discover new parks. We go to parks A LOT. After all, they are free entertainment. But I know there are quite a few that we haven't made it to, which are well reviewed.
• Hang out at the airport and watch the jets taking off and landing. We've wanted to do this for a while.

You'll note that none of the parks are on this list. That's because they are not worth the money you pay to be there over the summer. You'll stand in lines all day and sweat like a pig. It's much better to go when the weather cools...at least well into October. Have I left anything off? What are you and your family doing this summer?
